Euro Travel Card - Deposit in Euros

[webregs]

Hi All,

I'm a new user located in Melbourne who will be travelling to Italy on an regular annual basis.

I'm looking for a Euro travel card/debit card that I can deposit Euro's directly into instead of AUD and then having to convert it to Euro's at the card's prevailing rate? Is this possible?

cheers

HSBC have foreign currency accounts but don't know if they'll offer a debit card option.

Welcome to AFF webreggs ........have you considered opening a bank account in Italy ? There are plenty of options and some research is required to find the best mix of little/ no ongoing charges for a bank account. You could then easily gain access to credit / charge cards in Euro. Depositing cash and withdrawing becomes a breeze as some banks have ATMs worldwide.
